North Buncombe High was certainly one to remember. I enjoyed my time here, however I wish some things were different about my high school experience. As far as the academics and learning environment, everything was really great. When it came to the teachers and administration that’s when things were not so great. Don’t get me wrong, I loved some of my teachers and they were the best I’ll ever have. I just feel like as far as administration goes there needs to be more leeway with what teachers can and cannot do. Everything seemed very strict whereas other schools in the county did not experience this same treatment. Also with the COVID-19 I didn’t get to experience the rest of my senior year and the way that this was handled through administration was also not the greatest. I also didn’t get to complete my CNA course because of COVID-19 and I just Felt as if there was not much effort into getting us back in the classroom and allowing us to finish such!
For the most part (North Buncombe High )NBHS has been a great school to go to. The teachers there are amazing and they go above and beyond to help you if you ask for it. The arts programs have especially good teachers and they do an excellent job teaching. The only things I would change about the school would have to be the school website being updated more often, to always have our fall semester exams before we leave for Winter break, and to have more buses available.
North Buncombe was like any other high school experience. When students arrive at high school as freshman they are most concerned about trying to fit in and well trying your best not to look like a freshman. However, once those freshmen grow up and get into their senior year that exception of fitting in is changed. Over their sophomore and junior years, they will realize high school is not at all about fitting in. High school is a time to find out who you truly are as a person. For me, my senior year was the most life-changing, at that point I had decided what I wanted to do in college, and after college, and where I wanted to attend college. At that point, I had even started taking college classes along with my high school classes to get a head start on my dreams.
